"Hidden Agendas is probably one of the best uncomfortable reads I've come across recently. The book is made up of essays exposing the nature of politics, those who are exploited and those who are responsible. Pilger stays faithful to the 'what's of journalism, carefully backing up the statements he made. It is a type of journalism which could not be criticised easily, due to the nature of the facts. The author addressed the questions of East Timor, the British government's arms business, post-war Vietnam, to name a few. However, reading the book, the 'why' is often left unanswered. This is not a weakness, but the objective nature of Pilger's journalism. Events which happened a decade ago, still fresh in the reader's mind, is still relevant today as it was when it happened. As Pilger says, "Objective journalism is compelling not only today. It stands the test of time.""
"Yes, yes, yes - for we conspiracy theorists who are so often mocked, here indeed is a book upon which we are able to rest our case. Thank you, Mr Pilger, for another job well done."
"Required reading - together with Klein's 'No Logo' and Freidman's 'The Lexus & the Olive Tree'.
I won't opine here; rather simply recommend and ask the gentle reader to decide for themselves. As someone once remarked, the Mind is like a parachute - it works best when it's open."
